EKU RECOGNIZES EMPLOYERS OF THE YEAR

EKU recently recognized two firms as Employers of the Year. Baldwin CPA, represented by Lisa Foley, CPA, and Sara Beth Clements has been using EKU co-op students since 1986; for the past four years or so, the Richmond firm has used three or more co-op students each year.

Over the years, at least 15 co-op students have remained in full-time positions. Currently 19 of the Baldwin CPA staff members are EKU alumni. Also recognized as an Employer of the Year was the Social Security Administration, represented by Lyman Russell, second from left, and Bruce Fraley, third from left. Fraley, an EKU grad, is Richmond district manager, a frequent participant in EKU job fairs and posts positions with Eastern on a regular basis. Of the 18 staff members in the Richmond office, seven are EKU grads and two others attended Eastern. Seven staff members of the Lexington office are EKU alumni.
